Three friends Rajesh, Narayan and Ranbir were neighbors in a village. Rajesh was a shopkeeper and would bring grocery items from a nearly town and sell in the village. Narayan was a priest in the village's temple. Ranbir was a wrestler and ran a wrestling school. The three knew each other for years and were family friends.
Once the three were traveling to the town together. After walking a few kilometers, they
A bird was chirping on a branch of the tree. The sound of the chirp was very sweet. Each of the three friends tried to mimic the sound.
Rajesh, the shopkeeper said – You know the bird is saying "Saunth Mirch Adrakh"
Narayan, the priest said - No No! I think it is saying "Ram Sita Dasharath"
Ranbir, the wrestler said – Well Well! I thought I heard "Dand Baithak Kasrat"
And then the three laughed at their interpretations.
Moral Of The Story
The story teaches us that for every text, sound or sign, people can have their own interpretations based on their way of thinking.
In the same way, Shri Krishna gave just one message to all the Jeevas to come and attain Him but different Jeevas interpreted the message based on their own perceptions and the Guna of Maya (Satvic, Rajas or Tamas) that was prominent in them at that specific time and this created so many spiritual paths in the world.
